routing number

Check's nine digits

A routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies a specific bank or credit union in the United States for financial transactions.

It appears at the bottom left of checks and is required for direct deposits, wire transfers, and automatic payments.

Each financial institution has at least one routing number, and larger banks may have several based on region or the type of transaction.

I need your routing number and account number to set up the transfer.
